"In a market increasingly infected by easy compilations and cheap crossover albums, this release serves as a welcome antidote—a model for how to offer lightness of spirit without sacrificing artistic quality. The performances are vintage Wild. Earl Wild is so responsive to the idioms of each work that it's sometimes hard to believe that we're listening to a single pianist. The sound outclasses that on most releases being produced today."—Fanfare

"Wild's Mozart 'Concerto No. 21' has been a favorite of mine from its vinyl days—so beautifully phrased and impeccably played that it never fails to win me over. Rodgers' 'Slaughter on 10th Avenue,' is an effulgent, spectacular piano concerto arrangement by Wild. Two thumbs up."—American Record Guide
